Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a narrow waveguide 650nm semiconductor laser device and its fabrication method, belonging to the field of optoelectronic technology. Background Technology

[0002] Semiconductor lasers have outstanding advantages such as small size, light weight, low cost, high efficiency, long life, easy modulation and wide wavelength coverage. Among them, 650nm semiconductor lasers have broad application prospects in medical aesthetics, laser display and industrial measurement. However, the large vertical divergence angle, relatively low single tube power and poor lateral beam quality of traditional semiconductor lasers limit the further application of 650nm semiconductor lasers.

[0003] To ensure fundamental mode operation, traditional semiconductor lasers typically employ thin waveguides during epitaxial growth, resulting in a large vertical divergence angle. This significantly impacts the coupling efficiency between the semiconductor laser and optical fiber, increases coupling difficulty and cost, and also makes the small emitting area and high surface area power density susceptible to catastrophic surface damage and slow degradation. Therefore, reducing the vertical divergence angle of semiconductor lasers can improve both their coupling efficiency with optical fiber and the power per unit of the device.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN104300365A discloses a method for fabricating a laser that simultaneously reduces divergence angle and threshold current. This method introduces an asymmetrically doped low-refractive-index layer between the waveguide layer and the confinement layer, creating an anti-waveguide effect. This anti-waveguide effect, along with the active region and the waveguide layer, modulates the distribution of the optical field in the laser, thereby altering the optical confinement factor of the active region and ultimately affecting the laser's threshold current and vertical divergence angle. However, 650nm lasers typically use AlInP as the confinement layer, which has the lowest refractive index among AlGaInP materials, making it impossible to insert an even lower refractive-index layer between the AlInP confinement layer and the AlGaInP waveguide layer.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN106532433A discloses a laser with a narrow vertical far-field divergence angle and its fabrication method. By increasing the thickness of the active region and using a large optical cavity, the far-field divergence angle is reduced. Simultaneously, a tensile strain confinement layer is used to increase the refractive index, extending the optical field into the outer confinement layer. This strain-based extension of the vertical optical field further reduces the far-field divergence angle. However, if a tensile strained AlInP laser is used as the confinement layer, a small refractive index difference when the strain is small makes it difficult to generate optical field shift. Conversely, a large strain can lead to strain accumulation, causing defects such as dislocations and deteriorating operational reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a narrow waveguide 650nm semiconductor laser device and its fabrication method. By inserting a low-refractive-index barrier layer between the waveguide layer and the quantum well, and employing tensile strain compensation, the refractive index of the barrier is reduced, promoting optical field expansion and reducing the far-field beam divergence angle. By using a narrow waveguide structure, the optical field confinement capability is reduced, the vertical optical field is expanded, and the far-field divergence angle is reduced.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A narrow waveguide 650nm semiconductor laser device with a low refractive index barrier layer includes, from bottom to top, a GaAs substrate, a GaAs buffer layer, and a GaAs layer. 0.51 In 0.49 P-transition layer, Al 0.5 In 0.5 P-lower confinement layer, (Al) x1 Ga 1-x1 ) y1 In 1-y1 P-waveguide layer, (Al) x2 Ga 1-x2 ) y2 In 1-y2 P-bottom barrier, Ga 1-x3 In x3 P first quantum well, (Al) x4 Ga 1-x4 ) y3 In 1-y3 P barrier layer, Ga 1-x5 In x5 P second quantum well, (Al) x6 Ga 1-x6 ) y4 In 1-y4 P upper barrier layer, (Al) x7 Ga 1-x7 ) y5 In 1-y5 P upper waveguide layer, first Al 0.5 In 0.5 P-confinement layer, Ga 0.55 In 0.45 P corrosion termination layer, second Al 0.5 In 0.5 P-confinement layer, Ga 0.51 In 0.49 P-transition layer and GaAs cap layer; Wherein, 0.5≤x2≤0.7, 0.5≤y2≤0.65; 0.3≤x3≤0.5; 0.5≤x4≤0.7, 0.5≤y3≤0.65; 0.3≤x5≤0.5; 0.5≤x6≤0.7, 0.5≤y4≤0.65; (Al) x1 Ga1-x1 ) y1 In 1-y1 In the lower waveguide layer P, the x1 component gradually changes, and the range of x1 component change is between 1 and 0.4, while the y1 component remains unchanged, with 0.4≤y1≤0.6; (Al) x7 Ga 1-x7 ) y5 In 1-y5 In the waveguide layer on P, the x7 component is gradually varied, with the variation range of x7 being between 0.4 and 1. The y5 component remains unchanged, with 0.4 ≤ y5 ≤ 0.6. The x1 component is gradually varied while the y1 component remains unchanged, and the x7 component is gradually varied while the y5 component remains unchanged. This gradually varied structure design improves the carrier collection capability and reduces the voltage rise caused by the barrier height.

[0008] x2 is greater than the final value of the x1 component gradient, and x6 is greater than the initial value of the x7 component gradient, thus reducing (Al). x2 Ga 1-x2 ) y2 In 1-y2 P lower barrier and (Al) x6 Ga 1-x6 ) y4 In 1-y4 The refractive index of the upper barrier layer of P causes the light emitted from the quantum well to extend to the upper and lower waveguide layers on both sides. At this time, the waveguide layer is thinner and has poor confinement ability. Part of the light field extends into the confinement layer, the near-field light spot increases, thereby reducing the far-field light spot and promoting the extension of the light field.

[0009] The values ​​of y2 and y4 are greater than or equal to 0.5, representing the tensile strain of the barrier layer. Combined with the compressive strain compensation of the quantum well, this reduces strain accumulation in the active region.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the (Al) x7 Ga 1-x7 ) y5 In 1-y5 The thickness of the waveguide layer on P is 15-50nm, and it is not intentionally doped. Further optimized, x7 gradually changes from 0.45 to 0.95, y5 = 0.5, (Al) x7 Ga 1-x7 ) y5 In 1-y5 The thickness of the waveguide layer on P is 35 nm. An extremely narrow waveguide layer is used to reduce the optical field confinement, expand the vertical optical field, and decrease the far-field divergence angle.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the (Al) 1-x1 Ga x1 ) y1 In 1-y1 The thickness of the waveguide layer under P is 15-50nm, and it is not intentionally doped. Further optimized, x1 gradually changes from 0.95 to 0.45, y1=0.5, (Al) 1-x1 Ga x1 ) y1 In 1-y1 The thickness of the lower waveguide layer is 35 nm. Traditionally, the thickness of the upper and lower waveguide layers is usually 50-100 nm, or 1 μm for large optical cavity structures, which improves the optical field confinement capability and confines the optical field within the active region composed of the waveguide layer and quantum well. However, this invention uses an extremely narrow waveguide layer, which reduces the optical field confinement capability, allows the optical field to diffuse to the confinement layer, expands the optical field in the vertical direction, and reduces the far-field divergence angle.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but is not limited thereto.

[0033] Example 1 A narrow waveguide 650nm semiconductor laser device with a low refractive index barrier layer includes, from bottom to top, a GaAs substrate 1, a GaAs buffer layer 2, and a GaAs layer 3. 0.51 In 0.49 P-transition layer 3, Al 0.5 In 0.5 P-lower confinement layer 4, (Al) x1 Ga 1-x1 ) y1 In 1- y1 P-waveguide layer 5, (Al) x2 Ga 1-x2 ) y2 In 1-y2 P lower barrier layer 6, Ga 1-x3 In x3 P first quantum well 7, (Al) x4 Ga 1-x4 ) y3 In 1-y3 P-barrier layer 8, Ga 1-x5 In x5 P second quantum well 9, (Al) x6 Ga 1-x6 ) y4 In 1-y4 P upper base layer 10, (Al) x7 Ga 1-x7 ) y5 In 1-y5 P upper waveguide layer 11, first Al 0.5 In 0.5 P upper confinement layer 12, Ga 0.55 In 0.45 P corrosion termination layer 13, second Al 0.5 In 0.5 P upper confinement layer 14, Ga 0.51 In0.49 P-transition layer 15 and GaAs cap layer 16; Wherein, 0.5≤x2≤0.7, 0.5≤y2≤0.65; 0.3≤x3≤0.5; 0.5≤x4≤0.7, 0.5≤y3≤0.65; 0.3≤x5≤0.5; 0.5≤x6≤0.7, 0.5≤y4≤0.65; (Al) x1 Ga 1-x1 ) y1 In 1-y1 In waveguide layer 5 below P, the x1 component gradually changes, and the range of x1 component change is between 1 and 0.4, while the y1 component remains unchanged, with 0.4≤y1≤0.6; (Al) x7 Ga 1-x7 ) y5 In 1-y5 In waveguide layer 11 on P, the x7 component is gradually varied, with the variation range of x7 being between 0.4 and 1.

[0039] S3, the temperature is maintained at 680±10℃, which stops the growth on GaAs buffer layer 2.

It can be seen that the present invention inserts a low refractive index barrier layer and adopts a narrow waveguide structure, which expands the longitudinal optical field. While the horizontal divergence angle is basically the same, the vertical divergence angle is greatly reduced.
